For instance, I am not offended nor do I care if someone says something negative to me. When I am depressed, I am so sensitive that my boyfriend feels like he is walking on egg shells, and I take things way too personally. Right now, I don't have many other symptoms of hypomania however I do have the apathy and I am definitely out of my depression. I would say my mood has been mildly elated. I went shopping at 10pm just for school supplies instead of waiting till tomorrow, because I am so excited about school and think I will make all A's and accomplish so much (Which is not like me, since I have low self confidence and low motivation). But I don't feel extra energy nor do I have insomnia. Anyone else get this apathy thing?

Hi yes, I have had this. I do the same thing. I shopping sometime real early in the morning. My doctor put me on another medication and it seemed to help some. It sounds more the the depressive side. I know there are different types of bipolar. I would let your doc know
